The former Prime Minister and his wife purchased a four-bedroomed, three-bathroom mews house for £1.13m last month, thought to be for the use of their second son Nicky, 23.
A report in the Daily Mail said the house also featured a sun terrace, brushed-steel kitchen and open plan living room.
Blairs to buy Gielgud's former home
Foster: Cherie Blair lied
It follows the family’s
£5.75 million purchase in 2008 of a Grade 1 listed mansion in Wotto... in addition to their five-storey mansion in London’s Connaught Square, bought for £3.65m in 2004.
The couple’s most widely-known
property investment is the pair of buy-to-let Bristol flats bought by Cherie for her eldest son Euan with the
help of discredited Australian Peter Foster.
The family’s former constituency home in County Durham, Myrobella, is up for sale worth an estimated £300,000. It was bought for £30,000 in 1983.
Nicky, who graduated from Oxford University two years ago, has spent two years working in state schools as part of the Teach First initiative, under which graduates spend time teaching before they focus on their chosen careers – often in politics, law or the City.
